Four decades of teaching and research in French cinema

Abstract

Work on French cinema has developed rapidly in a relatively short space of time since the mid- to late-1970s, when teaching was confined to the occasional course unit in a handful of universities, and research was only starting to emerge from work aimed at cinephile rather than academic readerships. The aim of this chapter is to give a broad historical account of teaching and research in French cinema in France and Anglophone countries over the last forty years, as an academic discipline, rather than as a practice-based discipline.
